Preservation

Reinvigorating historic structures for community

Through preservation we acknowledge that the layers of history provide interest and vitality to the built environment. Historic buildings have enduring architectural and cultural qualities that cannot be replicated today. By preserving important buildings, we recognize and protect the craftsmanship of previous generations, while creatively and sensitively providing for contemporary life safety, accessibility and other systems that allow the building to function for contemporary uses. Our preservation projects are typically designed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and many have received the substantial benefit of historic tax credits.
